Who is The Informationist?
Every Sunday morning, I take one current event or complicated concept and simplify it for you. A Fed decision, a jump in bond yields, a promise out of Washington, how money printing actually works.
What’s going on? Why? And what could it mean for your money?
The reality is a lot of this stuff is confusing. And yet, it has a way of impacting your paycheck, mortgage, taxes, and most importantly, your investments and savings.
To help you understand it all, I keep it nice and simple, in plain English and in the time it takes to have a coffee. I walk through how finance actually works, so the decisions you make are your own and better informed.

I’m James Lavish. I’m a CFA, and I’ve spent thirty years inside markets, from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to running money at hedge funds. Today I co-manage a the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund and sit on the board of Strive, Inc.(NASDAQ: ASST), a public Bitcoin treasury company.
